Lacrosse can be played by athletes of all skills. Proficiency in throwing and catching will yield the most fun and allow other aspects of the game to be enjoyed. We expect most players will have little experience. We will teach them the skills.

Does my child need to be an experienced player or are new players welcome?
New players are very welcome! Experience is always preferred, however it is not a requirement. Our coaches will stress fundamentals: scooping ground balls, passing, and catching. Our intention is to educate the players and to have fun. It is our intention that all players will play regardless of capabilities. We want this to be a fun and interactive experience for all players at all ages. .

How big is a Lacrosse Field? Will my child have to run a lot? What are good corresponding or complimentary sports for Lacrosse?
Boys lacrosse fields are the same length as full size soccer fields but slightly narrower. Girls lacrosse fields are slightly larger than a full size soccer field. Lacrosse is considered the fastest game on two feet and children will play on a full size field. Soccer and Football are excellent complimentary sports for lacrosse! However, Hockey and Basketball players have the best understanding of plays and the transition game from defense to offense. Lacrosse serves as a great off-season training sport for tackle football helping with agility and speed.

What equipment do Girls wear?
Girls wear the following equipment all of which is mandatory:
Girls Lacrosse Gloves
Girls Lacrosse Stick
Girls Lacrosse Goggles
Mouthpiece
Uniform Shirt and Skirt/Shorts

Equal game play time in our program is not guaranteed but rather earned through attendance at practice and effort displayed in practice and games. Skill or talent level is not used as the basis for game play time, except possibly during the last two minutes of a close game or during overtime.

We would like players to attend all practices. Game play time for players who attend all of the practices may be more than those who miss a lot of practices. Please see game playing time policy in question above.
